These AI-powered chatbots have emerged as critical tools, enabling live conversations to quickly resolve consumer concerns, saving time, and lowering operating expenses. Despite their utility, there is still a significant gap between user expectations and the capabilities of contemporary chatbot systems. Despite significant progress toward more human-like interactions, some users are dissatisfied, leading to the view of AI as obtrusive rather than beneficial. This paper will look at how chatbots can help with customer care in the e-commerce industry. The study proposes a revolutionary chatbot solution that is focused on meeting customer expectations and improving the online buying experience.
